Belter hurry. Only seven left!" Psychologist Claims Method Can Tell Vote BERKELEY, Calif. OH A Uni versity of California psychologist reported Saturday he has evolved a method of socio-economic sam pling which will predict how a community will vote. Any large urban area, he says, is made up of cultural divisions which fall into about eight differ ent types. Each of these divisions has three characteristics which he calls family life, assimilation and socio-economic independence. Proportion Varies The proportion of . these three characenstics vary from one cul tural division to another, and arc scored on a one to 10 scale. An exclusive residential district might rate, 7, 6, and 8 in the scoring 7 for the extent of its family life, 6 for the degree of assimilation of its foreign-born, non-white and "blue collar" ele ments, and 8 for its economic standing. A poorer area might rate a score of 1, 6 and 4. A sample of one of each of the eight cultural types in an urban area can yield a pretty good idea of how the community as a whole will vote, says Dr. Robert C. Try- on. His report was a part of a continuing study on the psycho logical characteristics of neigh borhoods. Checked Method Dr. Tryon said he checked the method against the 1940 presi dential election returns in the San Francisco Bay area and found Ihey agreed well wilh the vole for Democratic Franklin D. Roos evelt and. Republican Wendell Wilikie. The higher the socio-economic rating of a neighborhood ihc greater was the vote for the Re publican candidate. Tryon said. The procedure checked also in the 1954 California cleclion for gov ernor and has applied equally well in a school bond election, he: added. OREGON MAN INSTALLED WEISER.

OCEAN LEVELS RISING Heat Control Said More Vital To Survival Than Atom Energy CAVTA MnVtrA Calif fjfl A noted physicist says studies of temperature control ultimately will he more important to the sur vival of man than atomic energy. Dr. Joseph Kaplan, UCLA pro fessor and chairmar of the U.S. Committee for the 1957 Interna tional Geophysical Year, predicts that ocean levels will rise at least 0 feet and inundate vast areas oi the earth in the next 50 or 60 years unless atmospheric temp eratures can be controlled. In a copvrighted story, the Santa Monica Evening Outlook quoted Dr. Kaplan as saying the inundation could occur as a re sult of accelerated melting of the polar ice caps through mans "tremendous use" of oil and gas. The 54-year-old scientist said the burning of fuels is of such mag nitude that discharged gasses are creatine a "greenhouse" effect I over the earth. Should the oceans rise ny 40 feet, their waters would cover parts of New York City. San Fran cisco, much of Florida.' sections of Tokyoand many other coastal j cities. Heat control is the answer to the threat. Dr. Kaplan said. "We're working on a method of controlling man's environment and the temperature of the world," he reported. "We've al ready fired rockets into the upper , atmnsnhprp and di.scharzcd chem icals that affect the temperature of the atmosphere. "Control by man of the earth s weather and temperature is with in the realm of practicality now. "The end result of our studies (of temperature control! will be more important to the survival of man than atomic energy."
